Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 19, 2016 - Nose of worn leather, cassis, tobacco, Tabasco, and other lovely flavors that just suck you into the glass. Lovely palate – some amazing fruit with some nice acid that just lets it run around your mouth. The palate has some nice sweet red fruit, herbs, with hints of dark chocolate, some nice tannins that add structure but do not overpower, ending with a subtle hint of mint. The mint becomes a bit more pronounced as the wine sits in the glass. The finish is quite long and pleasant. This is drinking beautifully right now. Could certainly last a few more years, perhaps longer, though not sure if it will get better. Perhaps some more tertiary flavors will develop? With time however this begins to simplify a bit. I would say it started at a 94, and then settled into a 90 or even a bit higher. So will put this at 92.
